Run-off vote today
deeides-presideney
By Christy Cooke
Since neither presidential can­didate
received a majority vote
in last Friday's SGA Elections, a
run-off election will be held today
between David Bradley and Jol,m
Norcutt, the top two contenders.
Having received 676 votes last
week, Norcutt, Psy3 Richmond,
would have won the top execu­tive
position by a plurality of the
1,566 total votes cast. However,
the SGA Constitution states that
a majority must be obtained-in
this case 790 votes.
Bradley, Dist3 Salem, was the
second highest candidate for the
presidency with 426 votes.
In other offices, elected Friday
were Bob James, H & PolSc2
Fredericksburg, who won the
vice presidency; Ronda Kruger,
SSc2 Norfolk, elected as secre­tary
without formal opposition
and Ernest Roane, Psy3 Rich-mond,
who won the treasurer's
position also without formal oppo­sition-
the first Negro to be
elected to an executive SGA of­fice.
(See j'elated stories, page 3)
Now brushed aside, the other
presidential hopefuls were Marvin
Edwards, Psy3 Richmond, and
Neal Burton, Bus3 Richmond.
Edwards received 268 votes; Bur­ton
managed 206 votes.
As in last Friday's election,
members of the Board · of Elec­tions
and the Honor Council will
count the ballots of today's run­off.
All four executive officers
will be installed tonight at the
SGA Banquet given by the Honor
Council from 6:30 to 8 p.m. in
the Hibbs Faculty Dining Hall.
Students may cast their ballots
at the Rotunda, the Science
Building or the Temple. Again,
student identification cards are re-quired
in order to cast a vote.
Bradley, Junior class president
this year, says that his platform
remains the same. Basically, if
elected he plans innovations such
as a joint committee of students
from MCV and RPI to lay the
transitional groundwork for the
merging student governments. He
would also like to see representa­tives
of Men's and Women's In­terdorms
be included in the Sen­ate.
Bradley says he advocates
the establishment of a Student
Campus Development Committee
to make suggestions to the Office
of Development concerning new
buildings and facilities.
BRADLEY SAID he is con­cerned
that many students think
he is too conservative. He con­tended
that he lost the art stu­dent's
vote last Friday because
of this. He commented, "I think
I've been prettty liberal." . Brad-ley
affirmed that he does favor
r e-instatement of the Spring Arts
Festival.
Norcutt, Honor Council mem­ber
and Research Bureau Direc­tor,
is sticking to his original plat­form.
Dubbing himself as an "in­novator,"
he plans if elected to
make one of his chief objectives
the promotion of Virginia Com­monwealth
University as an as­set
to Richmond.
Norcutt's right to run in the
race today was challenged Mon­day
by the Board of Elections
after several ·students complained
about his campaign tactics. He
was found free of "all accused
guilt" after the board held a
closed hearing to investigate such
charges as allegedly using illeg­ally-
obtained RPI-stamped enve­lopes
for campaign letters and ex­ceeding
the $50 limit for cam­paign
budgets.
